The 2016 Presidential election season in the United States has generated far-reaching criticisms across the globe between both major party candidates, billionaire and reality-tv star, Donald J. Trump, and former first lady and Secretary of State, Hillary R. Clinton. Donald J. Trump has made our society step back and reexamine our political culture and election trends as he rapidly gained - and sustained - momentum in this year's presidential cycle.
